A brief history of the game
At first there was Midnight Mansion, now often called MM1. This game package was for Mac only and contained 8 mansions, each on easy, normal and hard level. Above that there was a builder included, so that customers could design mansions themselves.
Then there was Midnight Mansion HD, now abbreviated as MM1 HD for both Mac and Windows. It contained the 3x8 mansions from MM1 plus 3x a bonus mansion: Tomb of Princes. All in high definition!
Actionsoft's latest game, Midnight Mansion 2: The Haunted Hills, includes 28 mansions with a lot of new features. The 8 built-in mansions have 3 difficulties along with 4 extra custom mansions. Yes indeed, the MM2 package also has an included builder to create mansions!

Custom mansions

In the past decades several customers started experimenting with the builders. Creating rooms. Talking about it on the Midnight Mansion Forums. Sending their own designed mansions to other board members to test them. And finally sending them to the administrators of MMF.
Result? Nearly 200 extra mansions are downloadable from these boards and some of them have over 100 rooms.
If you like to download custom mansions, go to the General Custom Mansions Area (Mac and Windows) where you find the lists with all the download spots.

Unusual start for a new Mansion
15.07.2008 at 18:44:21
 
Hi everybody,

working on a 80 rooms-Mansion after Warrior and Sarkozyland, and about to finish it, I need some MMers' advices...
My first idea is to begin this Mansion by a sort of teaser which means a "last-chance-Jack" after loosing 6 lives, then a save-pedestal and a new start onto the whole Maansion. I thought this was original, but I was told by Aquamat (my favorite beta-tester:-)) this idea is a bit tedious ("...drove me nuts!").
From collective advice, can I keep this idea on?
I attach the incriminated Mansion's part.
Thank you.

Hmm, I wouldn't do that. It's frustrating and might discourage people from wanting to play the mansion. Maybe you could throw in some shields that are a challenge to get to, but possible?

Looking forward to playing the finished mansion, though.

Hi Surcouf!

This reply is a little late. I just wanted to let you know that I would have loved this start, because I would have been able to start off Daedalus with 12 lives.

Here's the screen-shot:

If you want, I'll let you know how I did it.

Well, I just realized that everybody can get 12 lives if they pull the lever for the gold only after saving in 14488. I should mention that I only lost one life in getting to this point, though.
